Alexis Anvekar is the perfect blend of medical doctor, health coach and friend. She take the time to fully investigate every aspect of your health. She does the most thorough examination including a full panel of blood tests to determine your overall health, combined with body fat analysis, EKG, hearing, lung capacity and a battery of other tests. She combines this all with an inquisitive history taking, taking into account your stress, exercise and dietary practices. She then does a thorough physical examination. On your next visit the findings are presented and a plan is laid out to help you achieve optimum health. The plan is more likely to use vitamins, a clean diet, exercise or biofeedback to set you on a path of longevity and feeling great. I had a poor report on on my A1C and lipid panel, andDr. Anvekar would have been within the medical standard to put me on Statin drugs. Dr. Anvekar patiently explained how to improve without taking drugs, by making simple changes to my diet and by taking supplements. She really took the time to communicate with me and in a way that made me feel valued and cared for.(I have heard the same reports from several other patients who see her) I was back in 6 weeks and all my tests were in the healthy range. I also have to tell you that she has saved my life twice in the last 3 or 4 years by getting me in for an immediate appointment and getting the right medical care when I needed it. Beyond that, Dr, Anvekar is kind and compassionate and always upbeat. Her office walls are decorated with beautiful photography of her children with upbeat quotes on them such as: «Don’t wait for all the lights to turn green before deciding to go to town» She is well supported with a very friendly and humorous nurse«Painless Kim» who makes you feel right at home. Erica is the receptionist and always has a friendly greeting and answers the phone by the second ring and will keep your finances in good order.

I have had the neurofeedback offered by Dr. Anvekar to address depression, and for the first time in many years, maybe for the first time ever, I feel that the veil of depression is gone. Yes, gone. I had been on medication for many years and now I am all but free of them. It is rare to find a doctor who is both compassionate and results-oriented. I found both in Dr. Anvekar. Her drive to heal her patients has led her to add neurofeedback training to her practice, and I could not be more grateful to her and her staff. Thank you, Dr. Anvekar!

I highly recommend Dr. Anvekar. She genuinely cares for her patients and wants them to be healthy and well. I moved to her practice after suffering from«depression» for many years. My previous doctor sat with me for 5 minutes and handed out prescriptions. Dr. Anvekar sat with me for 45 minutes! She does this every time! After trying some new medication with not much relief Dr. Anvekar suggested I try Neurofeedback. This has been amazing! I am completely off my medicine. In addition, Dr. Anvekar took the time to review my blood work in detail and found that I was difficient in a couple of hormones. She has referred me to a specialist for that. I could not be happier with her!
